St Gregory's Church, Kirknewton

Highlight • Historical Site

St Gregory's is the parish church of Kirknewton. There has been a church on this site since at least the 11th century. The church was restored by John Dobson in 1860, retaining the 15th century chancel and south transept. A notable feature of the church is the c.12th century stone relief of the Adoration of the Magi, which is set into the wall near of the chancel arch.

Ad Gefrin: Anglo-Saxon Palace and Settlement

Highlight • Settlement

You can really step back in time at this spot. During the 7th Century, the palace of King Edwin of Northumbria and his successors was at Gefrin. Excavations have revealed a huge complex of great halls more than 85 feet (26 m) in length here. Be sure to check out the monument on the northern side.

Yeavering Hamlet

Highlight • Historical Site

Yeavering is a charming scenic hamlet located on the River Glen. Nearby is Yeavering Bell one of the largest Iron Age hillforts in the region and one of the most important archaeological sites in early medieval Britain, yet it is one that few members of the public are aware of. There has been a settlement here on the valley floor under the shadow of Yeavering Bell since the Bronze Age, about 5,000 years ago.

Gefrin Archaeological Site Monument

Highlight • Monument

In the 7th Century, the palace of King Edwin of Northumbria and his successors was at Gefrin, near Kirknewton. Bede mentions it as the spot where Bishop Paulinus baptised Christian converts in the River Glen in 627 AD. No one knew its exact location until 1949, when an archaeology professor taking aerial photos spotted crop marks.

Excavations in the 1950s and 1960s revealed a huge complex of great timber halls of more than 26 metres in length. There were kitchens, a timber grandstand, a weaving shed and a ‘Great Enclosure’ to pen in cattle or horses. Look out for the monument on the northern side of the Wooler to Kirknewton road.

Yeavering Bell (361 m)

Highlight • Summit

Yeavering Bell is quite daunting when you approach it, at 361 mtrs tall it stands out when peddling up the road beside it. There are good tracks around the lower parts of the hill which have undisturbed countryside
